HAG\u00c5T\u00d1A, Guam<\/strong>\u2014Bank of Guam announced yesterday the rebrand of its San Francisco branch as TASI Bank, a division of Bank of Guam, with a new logo, website, and rebranded digital banking solutions. <\/p>\n

Seeing an opportunity to distinguish itself from other Bay Area lending institutions, TASI Bank will center its financial services around a wide range of commercial opportunities throughout various business sectors, including commercial real estate, franchised gasoline service stations, hospitality (hotels and motels), as well as independent retail and wholesale firms. <\/p>\n

John David \u201dDave\u201d Joves, Bank of Guam\u2019s senior vice president, California regional manager, has been named division president for TASI Bank. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting day for all of us. Over the years, we\u2019ve achieved exponential growth, successfully building the branch to more than $450 million in total assets while serving a diverse community of small and medium-sized businesses throughout Northern California,\u201d said Joves. \u201cEven our rebranding shows how deeply connected we remain to our Guam roots. As a matter of fact, \u2018T\u00e5si\u2019 means ocean in the CHamoru language. Our logo, a wave, visually connects cultures spanning 6,000 miles from Guam to San Francisco, honoring the momentum and strength of the ocean, just like the financial strength of the bank.\u201d <\/p>\n

Joves will continue to lead the California region, alongside a staff of 20 employees. The branch will continue to serve as trusted advisers, now with a focus on business banking serving from the heart of San Francisco\u2019s financial district as it has since 1983. <\/p>\n

Serving strong for 38 years, TASI Bank has been coined the \u201coldest new bank\u201d in the San Francisco Bay Area as it continues Bank of Guam\u2019s legacy of serving as trusted advisers to its commercial customers. With revenue growth averaging 14.4% for the past 10 years, TASI Bank has contributed to BOG\u2019s $2.8 billion total assets, demonstrating the bank\u2019s ability to compete nationally beyond their markets in the Pacific. <\/p>\n

Bank of Guam president and CEO Joaquin Cook said this development \u201cis another milestone in our \u2018The Start of Something New\u2019 campaign. As one of our long-term strategic goals, TASI Bank is also a significant reflection of Bank of Guam\u2019s growth and expansion to compete beyond our existing markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bank of Guam also sees TASI Bank as a means to further modernize the bank\u2019s financial offerings and digital accessibility, while helping a diverse array of commercial customers. This is consistent with Bank of Guam\u2019s longstanding mission to serve the underserved. <\/p>\n

As a division of Bank of Guam, a minority depository institution, TASI Bank can offer expertise to groups that are frequently overlooked by institutions where people of color do not hold representative control. According to FDIC, MDI institutions such as Bank of Guam originate a greater share of Small Business Administration guaranteed small business loans for such borrowers, compared to non-MDI financial institutions. <\/p>\n

While TASI Bank\u2019s business strategy will focus primarily on business to business financial services, it remains committed to the same values as \u201cThe People\u2019s Bank.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cTASI Bank remains a valuable member of the BOG Familia, with its philosophy of respect, fairness, generosity and integrity,\u201d said Cook.<\/p>\n

The rebrand of TASI Bank won\u2019t impact all BOG account holders. Beginning yesterday, California account holders will be introduced to a name, website and rebranded online and mobile platforms. To log into their online account, they can now visit TASI.bank using their existing login credentials. (PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
